Okay, with that established, which popular restaurant here in Maine reportedly serves up the best burrito in the entire state?

According to LoveFood and their report highlighting ‘The Best Burrito in Every US State,’ their pick for Maine is the ‘smothered burrito’ at Taco Escobarr in Portland. LoveFood had the following to say about their selection:

For a burrito in stylish surroundings, head to Taco Escobarr, a funky, colorful tavern decked out in twinkly lights. Go for a smothered burrito and choose from 10 tasty fillings including vegan-friendly ancho chili butternut squash or grilled jalapeño and lime shrimp, both of which come highly recommended.

Aside from the food, one of the first things people think of when it comes to Taco Escobarr is the atmosphere—something LoveFood highlights by mentioning the colorful twinkly lights.

LoveFood also notes that while customers love dining in, the burritos travel well too, which is definitely worth keeping in mind; you can find Taco Escobarr at 548 Congress St. in Portland.
